Overview

When Wildlife Trails first visited Kanha back in 1999, we fell instantly in love with the spectacular forest, enjoyed beautiful breakfasts inside the park just after a tiger encounter, and watched the sun go down over the park from the central plateau - a bespoke tiger safari in Kanha excites and soothes the soul in equal measure. We have always offered the best guidance with regards to a balanced and more tranquil approach to wildlife viewing in Kanha. While many tour operators pushed the busy Kisli side of the park, we stood firm with our belief that the much quieter Mukki side was the place to be, and superb lodges like Kanha Jungle Lodge and Chitvan Lodge, the places to stay. Our clients were rewarded with some stunning tiger encounters, where they were often the only jeep on that side of the park, as well as gaur (Indian bison), dhole (wild dog) and barasingha, also a surprising diversity of bird species. All of India’s National Parks have become busier and it is true that you will have to share your sightings these days with others; however in our minds, the Mukki side of Kanha remains the place to be on this India wildlife tour.
